Plot
When Jewish male nurse (Ben Stiller) plans to ask his live-in girl friend (Teri Polo) to marry him, he learns that he must get her only after obtaining permission from her strict father. So the two travel to meet Mom (Blythe Danner) and Dad (Robert DeNiro). But their perfect marriage plans soon turn freaky as the husband-to-be discovers his father-in-law to be a former CIA with a lie detector in the basement. Coincidentally, a sister (Nicole DeHuff) also has announced her wedding to a young doctor (Thomas McCarthy). Everything that can go wrong, does, in this hilarious comedy - including the disappearance of Dad's beloved Himalayan cat, Jinxie.

Plot
Based on the real-life experiences of Ed Horman(Jack Lemmon), this Academy award winning film tells the story of an American businessman father of conservative background who comes to a South American country to search for his journalist son, who goes missing during the Right Wing military coup in 1973 Chile. With his daughter-in-law Beth(Sissy Spacek), who like her husband is politically polarized from the father, the American dad tries to find his son, prying through the bureaucracy and dangerous political intrigue. Bit by bit, the father comes to the realization that his own beloved government is not telling him the truth.

Plot
Prospective fathers-in-law Steve Tobias(Michael Douglas) and Jerry Peyser(Albert Brooks) are as different as chalk and cheese. Dr. Jerome Peyser is a gentle podiatrist with a well-organized daily routine designed to eliminate all possible sources of stress. Steve Tobias, on the other hand, is a daredevil CIA operative whose average day consists of dodging bullets, stealing private jets and negotiating with international arms smugglers. When the two meet for the first time to celebrate their children's upcoming marriage, the dynamic Steve gives potential father-of-the-bride Jerry a serious case of pre-nuptial jitters and turns his perfectly balanced life upside down. Steve's dramatic entrances and exits, his cryptic references to a Russian runaway named Olga and his fight with a gunman in a restaurant washroom causes Jerry to see a vision of his daughter's perfectly planned wedding blowing up in his face. Before he can annul the wedding, Jerry suddenly finds himself embroiled in the chaos that follows in Steve's wake as he is dragged kicking and screaming into a series of precarious adventures that take the mismatched in-laws-to-be halfway around the world.

Plot
When the 21 year-old daughter of an ordinary, middle-class man George Banks (Steve Martin) decides to marry a man from an upper-class family, George gets depressed. The poor dad can't think of what life would be like without his daughter Annie(Kimberly Williams). He becomes slightly insane, but his wife(Diane Keaton) tries to make him happy for Annie. The father can't think of living without Annie but reluctantly arranges for her marriage. When the wedding takes place at their home and a foreign wedding planner takes over the ceremony, George must try to handle the fact that people grow up. The scenes involving George and his son-in-law Bryan(George Newbern) are a delight to watch.

Plot
In this sequel to the hit comedy "Father of the Bride," George Banks (Steve Martin) is in for greater distress. His daughter is pregnant and he's about to become a grandfather. But if the transition of her daughter from maiden to wife was difficult for him to accept, her changeover to motherhood is more than he can take in. To add to his angst, George discovers his own wife to be pregnant too. As the beleaguered patriarch prepares for the two new additions to his family, comic confusion transpires. More fun comes in the form of Franck Egglehoffer and his assistant Howard Weinstein, who are now no longer wedding planners but a pair of equally wacky home decorators.
